Well, I finally did it...I ordered a big bore

[Gone Fishing]

Some more bullets, .257, .458, .357

How those things look like they are painted perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

When I get off work I'll check it out. What moulds are you using most of the time? I ordered a lee and am looking at NOE too

I suggest checking out the Arsenal molds as well. I've been impressed with the two that I have bought. They have a good selection and up to 5 cavities make for fast bullet production.

Man as luck should have it, I had just looked at their site and sent off a request for downsizing a bullet to .452 from .454 and .457.

@Matthias-
if you are still considering a Lelya in .25, lemme tell ya- it's a superb and incredibly fun PCP. 
I bought one for me and my wife (back then girlfriend) immediately laid claim. 
Hades are a perfect match, and the accuracy warrants high quality glass.

Peter,

your enabling is getting me into trouble with my wife — she isn't as much into airgunning as I am.
Actually, not at all 🤣 — so congrats on yours:  Finding a wife who likes airgunning is a rare find! 👍🏼


Since I like short guns, bigger caliber seems to go against that.... So, here I'm wondering again about .22cal....
And I probably need to start my own thread, but I'm wondering if the Lelya's short barrel in .22cal can be persuaded — without too much money and expertise and waste of air — to spit pellets out at 38 FPE....? 🤔

The EdGun Lelya shoots JSBs extremely well, and 50+ FPE is easy enough with JSB Exact Jumbos in .22.  You're talking only 830 FPS.  Ours is tuned at 890 at the moment in .25- JSB Kings @ ~ 34 grains and it pushes to nearly 60 FPE and there's still room for more power.   I adjusted the regulator once we started seeing coyote on our property, though with the arrival of the M25 bigbore, I may tune it back to to pre-coyote power levels (~ 48 FPE)

The EdGuns are capable "powerplants" for moving pellets.  I don't think the barrels are ideal for slugs but that's a trade-off worth noting.

Another thumbs up for Arsenal Molds. I own Arsenal, Noe, Accurate, Lee, Lyman, and a handful of antique bullet molds. I use the Noe sizing die system as well as a few Lee sizing dies.  All good stuff.

Have you asked Arsenal to size down from a .454 or .457 to a .452?
